Vintage Dreams Quilt

Hi there! I’m Amy from Amy’s Creative Side, where I’m gearing up for the next installment of Blogger’s Quilt Festival. Stop over and learn what it’s all about. I’m excited to share my quilt project here with you today (it’s my first MBS tutorial!!). These soft prints from Urban Chiks inspired me to look through vintage quilting books and design this quilt, with a nod to our rich quilting heritage. I hope you give it a try, and share your pictures!

Lay out your blocks 5 across and 6 down. Sew the blocks into rows, and the rows into a complete quilt top.

Cut borders from the length of fabric, at 3 1/2″ for the inner, and 6 1/2″ for the outer border. Measure through the center of the quilt top for the best fitting borders. Add the borders to the sides, then top and bottom.
